I'm really not King Jing of Zhongshan

Chapter 371 Five-Year Period
In fact, the consolation of that old man, that veteran, did not ease the humiliation and depression in Liu Sheng's heart much;
Perhaps it was because it was the first time that Liu Sheng had reduced the exemption with those old men as the "sons of heaven", and Liu Sheng did not have too in-depth exchanges with them on the issue of the Huns.

But what I have to admit is: On this day, Liu Sheng and those old men really talked a lot.

From the short stories of their respective parents to the rumors and anecdotes on the streets of Chang'an;

From the past of Emperor Taizong Xiaowen and Emperor Xian Xiaojing to the present, the old people inside and outside the court have gone, and the sea has changed...

Liu Sheng relaxed a lot.

There is also a little insight.

Perhaps for Liu Sheng now, this invisible and intangible perception is far from enough to dispel the humiliation and depression brought by the Huns.

But at least these insights are enough to support Liu Sheng's stubborn soul, starting from Shanglin Garden.

——Liu Sheng, I'm going back to Chang'an.

Liu Sheng, it's time to return to Chang'an...

·
"Is it better?"

Back in Chang'an, Liu Sheng came to Changle Palace in the imperial chariot almost immediately.

I also wanted to meet my grandmother and mother, and say something like 'I'm fine, don't worry about the imperial grandmother and queen mother', so that the two queen mothers can feel at ease;

But before Liu Sheng arched his hands and bowed his waist, Empress Dowager Dou's peaceful and gentle voice seemed to calm the restless Fanying in people's hearts, making Liu Sheng walk forward involuntarily.

When he realized it, his body had already walked to the imperial couch, Liu Sheng simply sat down, and naturally put his hand on the palm of his grandmother, Empress Dowager Dou, which was placed upwards between her legs.

Feeling the familiar temperature, Empress Dowager Dou finally had a reassuring smile on her easy-going and loving face...
"Do you blame me?"

"Blame me, the blind old woman, knowing that Xiao Jiu can't do anything, but still giving Xiao Jiu the permission to 'do whatever you want';"

"Blame me, the blind old woman, for letting Xiao Jiu go back on his word in front of all the officials, first talking big, and then swallowing his words;"

"Blame me, the blind old woman, for throwing Xiao Jiu into such a helpless and cramped situation..."

"Ok?"

Hearing that his grandmother had taken the initiative to bring up this matter, the dissatisfaction buried in Liu Sheng's heart disappeared in an instant;

Subconsciously wanted to open his mouth to deny, but seeing the seriousness on his grandmother's face, Liu Sheng thought about it again and again, and finally bowed his head full of frustration.

"No matter what, grandson, I dare not blame the imperial grandmother."

"Father once said: After a hundred years, all matters in the court, big or small, as long as there is any incomprehension, you can get answers from the emperor's grandmother."

"This time, the emperor's grandmother did what she did, so she has a reason to do so..."

···
"The grandson made a bold guess: the emperor's grandmother did this to let the grandson realize something from it;"

"—Because my grandson once heard people say that many things cannot be taught to students by teachers just by saying."

"Only by personal experience can you get an unforgettable lesson, especially if you have experienced failure yourself, it will be easier to understand the truth."

"The emperor's grandmother did this, perhaps because of this reason, or maybe not;"

"But whether it is or not, grandson, the lesson has been remembered and benefited from it."

"Since that's the case, even if grandson wants to thank the emperor's grandmother, it's too late, so how can he blame him instead?"

Liu Sheng's words full of frustration only caused Empress Dowager Dou to shake her head again with a smile, she held Liu Sheng's hand, touched and touched, patted and patted, and finally sighed with a smile.

"Ugh······"

"In the past, it was always said that Xiaojiu was clever since he was a child, and that among the descendants of the late emperor, no one could surpass him."

"But now that I think about it, among the fourteen sons left behind by the late emperor, who is more ambitious than Xiao Jiu, and whose temper is stronger than Xiao Jiu..."

···
"I still remember that when Emperor Taizong Xiaowen's bones were still cold, the first emperor took the queen mother to swim in Shanglin;"

"On the way, when the queen mother went to the toilet, a wild pig suddenly appeared, and followed the queen mother into the toilet regardless."

"The first emperor went to save him with a sword, but was stopped by the then Zhonglang general Zhidu."

"For this matter, Xiao Jiu 'lurked' in Sima Men for several days, and finally seized the opportunity to punch Zhi Du's eye socket black..."

"—For this matter, Xiao Jiu was beaten by me, and was taught a lesson by the empress dowager Bo."

"But even so, Xiao Jiu still didn't let it go. At the age of a child, he went to the early court in person, and even impeached him for dereliction of duty..."

"It wasn't until the first emperor fined Zhi all his salary and suspended him from his post that Xiao Jiu gave up temporarily. Later, he and Zhi both formed a knot with each other, so it was considered to be skipped..."

···
"Later, Chao Cuo was instigated by someone who actually caused someone to dig down the outer wall of the Taimiao;"

"Xiao Jiu and Lao Qi learned that they even went out of the old Marquis An's mansion, and summoned the soldiers of the Northern Army who patrolled the street, and surrounded Chao Cuo's mansion with water."

"If the first emperor hadn't sent someone to stop him, maybe Chao Cuo would have died on Xiao Jiu's order that day."

"—For this matter, Xiao Jiu was broken by the first emperor with the Jade Seal of Chuan Guo, and was thrown into Ting Wei's prison."

"However, even so, Xiao Jiu still holds a grudge against Chao Cuo, and even specially sent Chao Cuo to the north—the place where the side wall is most likely to be invaded by the Huns."

"Thinking about it, Xiao Jiu didn't really want Chao Cuo to make contributions so that he could worship the prime minister."

"Xiao Jiu just wanted to give Chao Cuo a good ending—to sacrifice his life for the country and save his family, and Chao Cuo could be regarded as dying on the premise of Xiao Jiu's court..."

The peaceful voice rang in his ears, only causing Liu Sheng to look reminiscent, and his mind quietly returned to those foolish things he did when he was "young and frivolous" many years ago.

After a long time, I finally forced myself to turn around from my thoughts, lowered my head with a smile that was not a smile, pretended to be casual and said with a smile: "It's all a bastard thing I did when I was a child. How can the imperial grandmother expose someone's fault?"

But seeing the Queen Dowager Dou heard the words, she only quietly suppressed the smile on her face, raised her hand, and gently stroked the sore eye sockets;
Afterwards, he lamented leisurely again, and then patted Liu Sheng's hand that was held by him again.

"Xiao Jiu has a high spirit and a strong temper, I know it all too well."

"This time, it is precisely because of this reason."

"——It's the beginning of autumn, Xiao Jiu, and it's about to reach the crown."

"It won't be the spring of next year at the latest, and Xiao Jiu will perform the crowning ceremony and become an adult."

"Then, it's pro-government..."

Saying so, Empress Dowager Dou slowly turned her head, although she could not see Liu Sheng's face or even the outline at all, she still forced herself to look roughly in the direction of Liu Sheng's face.

"When I first came to Chang'an from Daidi, Emperor Taizong Xiaowen once complained to me: After becoming an emperor, some people are not human, and ghosts are not ghosts;"

"After the death of Emperor Taizong Xiaowen, although the first emperor never said it clearly, he also complained to me openly and secretly, saying that he thought that being an emperor would be the most free person in the world, but he never thought about it, but he became the most fussy and trivial matter in the world. people who are tied up."

"Xiao Jiu knows, why is this?"

"——Because at the beginning of his ascension to the throne, both Emperor Taizong and the first emperor thought that after becoming an emperor, he would no longer have the power to be happy, angry, sad, and happy, and since then he has nothing to do with the seven emotions and six desires."

"But in the end, Emperor Taizong Xiaowen and the first emperor both figured out a truth for themselves."

"Emperor, it's not that you can't have joy, anger, sorrow, and joy, and it's not that you can't have emotions;"

"It's just that the emperor's joys, sorrows, emotions, emotions, and desires cannot be unreasonable like ordinary people..."

·
"As the saying goes: When the emperor is angry, he lays down millions of corpses and bleeds for thousands of miles."

"—The emperor is angry, it is necessary to tell some people and even the people of the world: I am angry;"

"Happiness, sorrow, and joy are all the same—the emperor wants to tell someone, or everyone: something makes me very unhappy, or very happy."

"You can have joy, anger, sorrow, joy, emotions and desires."

"But there is only one thing, and it is absolutely impossible to be an emperor."

Speaking of bringing this here, Empress Dowager Dou's tone obviously carried a touch of remembrance of the past;

And when Liu Shengman raised his head with a thirst for knowledge and looked into the depths of his grandmother's gaze, Empress Dowager Dou seemed to be aware of the gaze focused on her, and spit out a word.

It was also this word that allowed Liu Sheng to avoid options that seemed to be extremely correct but actually caused endless troubles in his major decisions in the future;

It is this word that allows Liu Sheng to give his deceased grandmother a posthumous title unprecedentedly in the future: Empress Dowager Yiwen...

"Annoyed."

"For the Son of Heaven, the only taboo is hatred."

"Because happiness, anger, sorrow, and joy can be faked, emotions and desires can be faked, but anger cannot be faked."

"—The emperor is angry, just want to tell the world: I am angry;"

"But if the emperor is really angry, that is, 'angry', then next, he must do stupid things..."

···
"In the sixth year of the Han Dynasty, Han Wangxin surrendered to the enemy in Mayi, the capital city, and fought against Han;"

"Emperor Taizu is angry."

"This anger is a battle of Pingcheng. As a result, Emperor Taizu Gao fell into Baideng's siege, and our Han family has suffered humiliation so far."

"Fortunately, in the end, Emperor Taizu Gao went to anger, dissipated his anger, changed his career to make peace with his relatives, and turned his attention to cooking princes with different surnames."

"At the end of Taizu's reign, the disadvantages of princes with different surnames were completely eliminated. Although there was the disaster of clan and vassal kings again, it finally made Kanto a little more peaceful..."

···
"In the 24th year of the Han Dynasty, the young emperor Liu Hong was bewitched by the palace people, and he said to the Empress Dowager Lu, 'I am not strong, but if I am strong, I will change';"

"Empress Dowager Lu is also angry."

"This anger is the tragic death of the young emperor in the deep palace. The young emperor was replaced by the younger false emperor Liu Hong;"

"When Empress Dowager Lu passed away, Emperor Xiaohui had already passed away for eight years, but the one sitting on the throne was still the nine-year-old Son Emperor."

"If Emperor Taizong Xiaowen hadn't taken over the Datong himself, the ancestral temple and community of the Han family would have been completely ruined by the anger of the Empress Dowager Lu..."

···
"In the 31st year of the Han Dynasty, the Huns entered the border, and Emperor Taizong Xiaowen was still angry."

"The treasury was almost emptied, and all the young and strong soldiers who could be recruited were recruited, but the rebellion by the king of Jinbei, Liu Xingju, disrupted the layout, and he was full of ambition. sigh..."

At the end, Empress Dowager Dou lowered her head with a bitter face, as if she was ashamed, but also shook her head helplessly.

Casting his unfocused eyes to the unknown place again, he said leisurely: "Emperor Taizu Gao, who is so wise and mighty, yet he was surrounded by Baideng by that anger;"

"A shrewd and sophisticated person like Empress Dowager Lu almost ruined the ancestral temple of my Han family because of that anger."

"Emperor Taizong, who is recognized by the world as a living saint, is still so angry and remorseful that he can't rest in peace until he dies;"

"As for the first emperor, it was because of his anger in the early years that he smashed the prince of Wu Wang to death with a chessboard, and planted the root of the Wu-Chu rebellion..."

···
"Now, it's Xiaojiu."

"Now, it's Xiaojiu's turn to figure out: What kind of indelible disaster will this little word of anger, falling on the emperor, bring to the people of this world."

"Xiao Jiu just said something right."

"—Some truths cannot be taught by talking alone, and it is difficult to learn by listening alone."

"This principle, whether it is Emperor Taizu Gao, Empress Dowager Gao Lu, Emperor Taizong Xiaowen, and Emperor Xian Xiaojing, all came to pass through their own personal experience, that is, a major change and failure related to the safety of the ancestral temple and the survival of the country. penetrating."

"And now, Xiao Jiu and Guan are coming soon, and the government is coming soon;"

"I really don't want Xiao Jiu to use such huge mistakes and failures to understand this truth like Emperor Taizu Gao, Empress Dowager Lu, Emperor Taizong Xiaowen, and Emperor Xian Xiaojing."

"Xiao Jiu, he's a smart kid."

"Smart children don't need a ruler to understand what they can't do..."

At the end, Liu Sheng could only feel an uncontrollable itching in his eye sockets, as if he had exhausted all his strength to prevent the unknown liquid from slipping down from his eye sockets;
At some point, Empress Dowager Dou's hand was held back by the young emperor, and at some point, it was a dull pain from being held by Liu Sheng.

Gritting his teeth tightly, suppressing his anger, he finally forced himself to calm down.

Responding to his own situation, he quickly let go of grandma's hand;

Then the old lady smiled wryly and raised her hand, kneading gently with the other hand.

On the lips, he did not forget to give Liu Sheng a final entrustment.

"Anger, yes."

"But don't be angry."

"Even if you are angry, you must always remember: on your shoulders, you are carrying the whole world—the people of the world, the things of the world, and even everything in the world."

···
"For the faint king, 'planning for the world' is the only fig leaf for the foolish actions."

"But for Mingjun, doing the world's favor is the only and most precious reward."

"No matter what decision you make, as long as you can keep in mind the words 'for the sake of the world', then you are already a good emperor."

"The first emperor may or may not have taught Xiao Jiu about these things."

"I taught it today. If Xiaojiu can't learn it again, then the next few decades will be extremely dark for the people of the world..."

"—five years."

"I'm an old bone, I'll keep an eye on Xiao Ninety-Five at most."

"Afterwards, even if the sky falls, Xiao Jiu can only carry it by herself..."

···
"Go."

"The border memorial has been sent back."

"—Chao Cuo, he's back too."

"remember;"

"For the sake of the world..."
